The HighBond subscription software is proprietary, exclusive, and reliable. The functionality offered by HighBond is an integral aspect to the Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC). It aligns to HHS processes with industry-leading and federal best practices in audit and security controls implementation and monitoring. Having HighBond licenses improves system security and strengthens controls and policy. Software and Licenses for Audit Management.

HighBond is a tool that was implemented last year to centralize all our audit responses, artifacts, reports, and remediation activities. With this centralization, OCIO Audits is capable of managing all audits in an organized manner, allowing us to not only manage NIH audits while in progress but also helps us conduct pre-audit planning and strategy, leverage previous work and/or submissions to alleviate LOE for our ICs, and conduct forecasting and lessons learned activities.
